Volunteers

The Nantwich Food Festival is run entirely by Volunteers – we love our town and love being part of what makes it special. If you have ideas, a little spare time and want to be part of our success, drop us a line and get involved. Together we can make this year’s Festival the best ever!

As well as needing help over the Festival weekend itself, we’d love to hear from you if you’d like to help out throughout the year on the organising committee and its planning groups. There are opportunities to get involved with a range of activities, from organising Festival infrastructure to signing up Exhibitors, organising chef demos and music.

Please tell us what sort of duties that you would prefer

Volunteers are extremely valuable and carry out a wide range of tasks which help to ensure the smooth running of the festival. We encourage a can do attitude, if it needs doing the nearest person does it! We try to provide a variety of tasks in session which might include - distributing leaflets & maps; stewarding marquees; helping traders & visitors, cleaning tables, litter picking & waste bin management; children's activities helping set up & take down tables, chairs etc.; car parking. However, if there are any duties that you are unable / unwilling to carry out please let us know below.

Any specific duties that you would prefer (please note that we can’t guarantee what duties that you will be assigned):

Your health, local knowledge & skills

We are delighted to have you as part of the team, but we do not wish to risk your health. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from undertaking certain activities, please let us know. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Do you possess sufficient local knowledge to be able to direct visitors around the town (e.g. toilets, cash machines, named shops & pubs etc.)

Do you have any special skills that may be useful, e.g. catering, admin, marketing & P.R., I.T., first aid, project management, children’s entertainment? Would you be helping over the three days, or are you interested in helping with the organisation of the festival in the months before it?

Our Volunteers come from all backgrounds and ages, and we get together socially on a regular basis to catch up on all things Festival… and more besides. We’d love to hear from you if you want to be part of our Volunteer community, making our Festival such a highlight and Nantwich such a great place to live and work.
